Student Comments#
Students have left me over 1600 comments. Student comments are from the end of semester teacher ratings that they are asked to complete. The comments range from negative to mixed to positive. I’ve used Google’s generative ai package as given here with the comments on this Kaggle sheet to generate a sentiment (positive, etc.) for each comment. The classification is not perfect as there are some positive comments that are labeled negative and vice versa. The below plot is a representation of the similarity between comments based on embeddings and tSNE reduction. You can mouse over the figure to see the comment at that point. The comments are colored by the sentiment classification.
